Snow is back in the forecast for most of the northern U.S. after a relatively calm week. On today's livestream, we'll discuss the winter weather currently in the Rockies and making its way to the Midwest and Northeast. That's not where the seasonal precipitation stops, however, as the long-range outlook calls for multiple snow events across the country over the next 10 days. Join WGN-TV meteorologist Tim Joyce and WHO-TV senior meteorologist Brett McIntyre as they breakdown what the current models are churning out. They will also discuss how this season compares to past winters and what that means as we look towards spring.
The relative countrywide calm looks to leave as the long-range outlook shows heavy rain and snow for most of the U.S. If models hold true, the high-pressure system over the West will finally depart giving way to a blast of moisture out of the Northwest, while just days later winds will carry saturated air north from the Gulf up through the Midwest and across the entire eastern half of the country dropping precipitation as it moves. Join WGN-TV meteorologist Tim Joyce and KFOR chief meteorologist Mike Morgan as they breakdown what appears to be in store coast-to-coast as the cold of February continues.
A bomb cyclone could develop this weekend as the East Coast prepares for a powerful nor’easter. Meanwhile, the long-range outlook shows a coast-to-coast rain / snowmaker which could bring significant precipitation to the eastern half of the U.S. Join our Nexstar team of meteorologists as they discuss the weather ahead. Have a question? Post it in the comments and we’ll try to incorporate it into the show!
